After all, Xu Jingzong was a typical feudal literati and a senior official in the prosperous Tang Dynasty. He knew that no matter how different his and Yun Ye’s ideas were in private, they had to remain consistent when dealing with the outside world.

Therefore, when Yun Ye and Lin Zhongtian chose to ignore the sedan chair, no matter how reluctant he was, he had to keep pace with them.

It's a pity that the owner has worked so hard to prepare a luxurious car...

Xu Jingzong felt regretful, but he kept moving and quickly caught up with Lin Zhongtian and Yun Ye.

Seeing that the three people ignored the luxurious sedan chair, the bearded butler was slightly stunned. Then his face darkened. He raised his hand and waved, signaling the slaves beside him to carry the sedan chair and follow.

After entering Camel City, a two-story loft wrapped in brocade appeared in front of everyone.

The floor of the attic was compacted and extremely flat, and was covered with a thick bear skin rug.

The brown fur blanket was decorated with exotic and gorgeous patterns using gold thread, and the four corners were inlaid with gemstones of various colors as big as pigeon eggs, which served as weights to hold down the blanket and reflected brilliant colors in the sun.

Seeing this scene, Xu Jingzong stroked his beard and said in amazement: "When Shi Chong and Wang Kai competed for wealth, they used brocade to hang on trees, stretching for more than 50 miles, which was already called extravagant."

"The owner of this room dresses the attic, which is similar to hanging brocade on the tree."

"I, Xu Jingzong, am fortunate to see the luxury of the world today, all thanks to Yun Hou!"

Hearing Xu Jingzong's genuine praise, Yun Ye and Lin Zhongtian looked at each other and couldn't help but smile.

There is no need to mention Lin Zhongtian. Yun Ye was also a modern person in his previous life and had seen countless wonders that would be considered miracles to the ancients.

In his eyes, the brocade-wrapped attic in front of him was not much better than the tin house in the African slums.

If Yun Ye felt a little nervous because of the mastermind's use of life-threatening tactics, then this attic now made his self-confidence surge again.

No matter how pretentious this owner is, he is just a slightly larger frog at the bottom of a well!

Thinking of this, Yun Ye's face showed a hint of mockery.

The bearded man who came from behind was secretly shocked when he saw this scene.

This marquis doesn't even care about such wealth and luxury!

After a little thought, he suppressed his shock and said respectfully: "Dear guest, you have come from afar, but my master is ill and cannot go out to greet you. In order to make up for the impoliteness, my master would like to welcome you with the highest etiquette of our tribe - the virgin wine cup!"

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand, and two strong men immediately came out of the attic carrying a wooden board.

A girl wrapped in brocade was lying on the wooden board, with a pepe in her mouth and her head fixed in the board. Her whole body was trembling with fear, exuding a breath of despair.

At the same time, two strong men next to her were holding ink and chisels, as if they were going to draw a line on the girl's head, chisel open her skull, and use the girl's skull as a wine glass to welcome guests.

Seeing this scene, Yun Ye was so angry that he trembled and couldn't help but shouted angrily: "Senior Brother!"

Long before he could say anything, Lin Zhongtian next to him floated forward, like a wisp of breeze, and passed between the two strong men.

“Crack—”

Two clear voices rang out at the same time.

The sturdy man's head was like a ripe fruit, picked lightly by a pair of slender hands.

The flesh and blood body lost its head, and blood gushed out like a fountain, accurately avoiding the man in green and the girl on the wooden board, falling to the left and right, and spilling onto the compacted ground.

It was not until then that Yun Ye, Xu Jingzong and the bearded man who were watching finally reacted.

Yun Ye’s face turned red. He tried to hold it back, but finally he couldn’t help it anymore and bent over to retch.

Xu Jingzong widened his eyes and looked in horror at the man in blue holding two heads in his hands. He couldn't help but feel extremely grateful that he had not really been an enemy of this man before.

Otherwise, even if his head fell to the ground, he might not even notice it.

Fortunately, this peerless master is now his and Yun Hou's bodyguard...

Thinking of this, Xu Jingzong felt relieved and subconsciously felt a sense of security.

In comparison, the bearded man next to him only had negative emotions such as astonishment and fear.

Next to the wooden board, Lin Zhongtian held up a head in each hand, looked at the two bewildered faces, and sighed faintly: "In the next life, I don't want to be a slave anymore..."

"thump!"

Two confused heads fell into the dust.

Lin Zhongtian turned around and cut the restraints on the girl with a slash of his hand. Then a smile appeared on his handsome face. He helped the trembling, frightened girl up and comforted her softly.

Yun Ye barely suppressed the urge to vomit and looked at the bearded man next to him with a grim expression.

“Give me an explanation!”

The bearded man was so frightened by Yun Ye's murderous gaze that he took a step back.

At this time, a hoarse voice came from the attic: "Don't blame me, Lord Yun. My family's status is really shameful. I had no choice but to use this kind of etiquette to entertain Lord Yun. I never thought that it would cause Lord Yun's dissatisfaction. It's really wrong!"

"If Yun Hou is dissatisfied, there is no need to argue with those lowly people, just kill them!" At this time, Lin Zhongtian had already walked over with the girl. Hearing this, he immediately stuffed the girl into Yun Ye's arms, turned his head to the direction where the voice came from in the attic and said lightly: "You said this!"

Yun Ye's face changed slightly, and he quickly said, "Brother, don't!"

Before he finished his words, the bearded man's head flew up out of thin air. While in mid-air, the expression on his face remained the same as before, as if he was completely unaware of the fatal disaster that was coming.

Another headless corpse fell to the ground. Yun Ye's mouth twitched and he sighed helplessly.

His cheap senior brother is good in every way except that he relies on his skills to do whatever he wants. He kills people without paying attention to the atmosphere or the situation, and he doesn't give any face.

With this kind of personality, Yun Ye really didn't dare to bring him back to Chang'an.

Otherwise, given the character of the Tang Dynasty's dignitaries, they might be slaughtered at will, turning Chang'an into a river of blood.

Lin Zhongtian glanced at Yun Ye and said calmly: "Don't worry, Junior Brother, I have never killed a loyal and kind person in my life. The number of lives this bearded man has stained is more than you have seen in your previous life!"

"So are the two strong slaves. They are skilled and have made at least eighty virgin wine glasses."

"For a person like this, even if he has a difficult life and unspeakable secrets, dying in my hands is a blessing earned in eight lifetimes..."

As early as when Lin Zhongtian killed a human for the first time, he had already discovered that there was indeed an existence similar to the underworld outside this world.

The souls of those lives killed by him carry his breath. Once they enter the underworld, they will be valued. At that time, no matter whether they did good or evil in their lifetime, they will be dealt with in the most appropriate way.

Of course, only Lin Zhongtian knew these things, and Yun Ye naturally had no way of knowing them.

He looked at Lin Zhongtian helplessly, and then gently comforted the shivering girl in his arms.

He had long discovered that this foreign girl who was captured and almost became a wine glass was the silly shepherdess he had met outside Shuofang City.

I don’t know if it was a coincidence or the person in the attic did it on purpose.

If he did it on purpose, it would mean that he had been targeted outside Shuofang City.

Thinking of this, Yun Ye’s eyes turned cold and he looked towards the attic.

At this time, the voices in the attic fell silent, as if they were also frightened by Lin Zhongtian's unconventional behavior.

Lin Zhongtian glanced at the trembling girl in Yun Ye's arms. He didn't know what he was thinking about. He suddenly smiled and said softly: "Junior brother, take good care of her. This girl is charming and noble. You will have a lifetime of love with her in the future. You must cherish her..."

After saying that, Lin Zhongtian took a step forward and walked into the attic.

Yun Ye was stunned when he heard this, and looked at the girl in his arms with some suspicion.

"…her?"

After a little thought, Yun Ye shook his head, thinking that Lin Zhongtian might be teasing him to ease the atmosphere.

After all, Lin Zhongtian is also a modern man, how could he possibly believe in such supernatural things?

Return a lifetime of love...

Yun Ye twitched the corner of his mouth, shook his head, and followed with the girl in his arms.

After entering the attic, Yun Ye discovered that the space inside was larger than he had imagined. The interior was decorated luxuriously and magnificently, with colorful curtains everywhere and various precious utensils inlaid with gold and silver scattered on the ground.

But compared with these precious antiques, what attracted more attention was the shirtless man.

He knelt on the ground, pierced the skin of his back with silver rings, and then hung himself up with leather ropes. He looked like one of those perverted masochists called Indian fakirs.

However, this person's behavior is obviously not for the sake of being abused, but to use pain to relieve pain.

Because he did not enjoy this practice of the silver ring piercing the back, not only was his face filled with pain, but he was also coughing constantly. The sputum he coughed up had an ominous black tinge, and black and red saliva was constantly flowing from the corners of his mouth.

Seeing Lin Zhongtian, Yun Ye and Xu Jingzong appear, the man raised his head and stared at Lin Zhongtian and Yun Ye in the front, his voice hoarse.

"Are you Yun Hou's senior brother?"

"That's right."

Lin Zhongtian nodded and glanced at the portraits hanging behind the man.

Seeing the scene of Tianchi depicted in the portrait, Lin Zhongtian twitched his lips and whispered, "Did you do this?"

Yun Ye also looked at the portrait behind the man, smiled and said, "Brother, this has nothing to do with me. I just told people in Chang'an about the appearance of Changbai Mountain Tianchi. After hearing about it, they insisted on exploring the backyard of Queen Mother Xi. What does it have to do with me?"

Lin Zhongtian laughed and shook his head.

The man heard the two talking as if they were alone, and he was furious. He said in a cold voice: "Marquis Yun just said a few words, but it ruined sixteen brothers of my family. This evil appearance of my family is also caused by Marquis Yun!"
